Berlin (Germany): double incendiary attack against the concrete industry

via: sansnom Translated by Act for freedom now!

[On the night of Sunday to Monday, December 2 in Berlin, at around 3am, a double incendiary attack destroyed around twenty concrete trucks at two industrial sites in northern Berlin. The 8 concrete mixers torched in Gehrenseestraße (Lichtenberg district) belonged to the Mexican multinational Cemex. And the 9 concrete mixers torched on Pyramidenring (Marzahn district) belonged to the German company HeidelbergMaterials.

You may recall that these two global concrete giants had already been attacked several times in the German capital: on December 27, 2023, CEMEX was set ablaze for the first time (five concrete mixer trucks arsoned, as well as the bulk conveyor belt and a technical building near the silos), then a second time on January 19, 2024 (two excavators present on the Berlin A100 highway construction site). On March 15, 2024,HeidelbergMaterials was attacked (six concrete trucks destroyed and three excavators damaged on the A100 highway construction site).

Here is a translation of the claim for the latest attack, on December 2, which hit both Cemex and HeidelbergMaterials at two separate sites, a text that appeared on indymedia germany on the same day].


Switch off the concrete industry

Flames once again lit up Berlin’s cold, dark nights. On the morning of December 2, machines and vehicles belonging to concrete giants Cemex and Heidelberg Materials were reduced to ashes.

Home Of Ghost Robotics CEO Flooded (USA)

Early thankstaking morning* we flooded the home that Ghost Robotics CEO Gavin Kenneally is trying to sell. He used to live there but seems to have moved out after the home started getting attacked.

In July his home was tagged and in October it was tagged again and windows were broken. To create more lasting damage we ran a hose from a wall faucet through a small hole we punched into a glass door and turned the water on. Ghost Robotics develops robot dogs that are used in occupied Palestine and at the US/Mexico border.

We took the fox we saw slipping under a fence as a good omen and hope the water kept running all night.

Let us each be a small drop in a liberating flood that drowns all authority!

Greece: FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE FUND FOR PRISONERS AND PROSECUTED REVOLUTIONARIES: For Kyriakos Xymitiris.

For Kyriakos Xymitiris.

December 2024

“Arm yourself and be violent, beautifully violent, until everything explodes. Because, you must remember that any violent action against these promoters of inequality is clearly justified by the centuries of infinite violence they have subjected us to.”
Mauricio Morales

Words are sometimes hopelessly inadequate to describe the state of affairs. There is no word that accurately describes the mental pain that revolutionaries feel when fellow travelers, who together traveled miles in the struggle against the barbarity of power and exploitation from person to person, lose their lives violently. Especially when the thread of life is cut in the most tragic way, in the process of less visible or even completely invisible risks, risks that prepare the ground for an imminent attack on the world of power. But if this one word existed, it should carry in turn the words

Pain, Rage, Revenge…

This October will forever remain in history as another star that went out early, shooting thousands of black arrows into the depths of our souls.

Since October 31, after that cursed explosion on Arcadia Street in Ampelokipi, the world of struggle has been left once again in ruins. Anarchists, communists, fighters, we are reliving the pain of violent separation. We are reliving the sudden shock of realizing that there are fewer of us left in this difficult struggle, losing a bright smile and a tireless and sparkling gaze, which we must realize we will never see again in any amphitheatre, in any demo, in any solidarity bar.

Thessaloniki, Greece : Greeting to the memorial for anarchist comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno in Carrara, Italy en/it

To the comrades of Carrara, who will honour the memory and struggle of anarchist revolutionary Alfredo M. Bonanno at the Circolo Culturale Anarchico ”Gogliardo Fiaschi” on December 8th 2024.

Comrades,

By raising our insurgent fists from the Greek metropolis, we welcome your initiative to honour the memory of the comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno. A few kilometres away from you, the answer to the question “Why is it necessary to highlight the historicality of the work of the comrade Alfredo”, lies in the simplest of concepts: the constant need of a free person to revolt against misery and the constant necessity for the world of poverty to be completely destroyed.

At a time of political retreat and reform, it is our collective duty to undo the natural death of a comrade, giving breath and vibrancy to the propositions that characterized his life and his passing from every field of struggle. To fight radically and with a point of aggression, to sharpen the conflict in all the fields of social antagonism. To fight to win, not moments, but the totality of freedom.

Berlin (Germany): attack on the arms company ThyssenKrupp

ThyssenKrupp grows rich on war and genocide

Many are angry. Angry at the genocide in Gaza. Angry at the bombs falling on civilians, schools and hospitals. Against global military rearmament. Against the bloodshed and forced displacement of millions. Against propaganda for “war capacity” and a Germany “ready to defend itself”. Against arms supplies and arms industry profits, and against plans to reintroduce compulsory military service. Against automated assassination through AI-directed drone attacks.

Too much anger.
That rage was unleashed yesterday.
Against the arms company ThyssenKrupp.
Yesterday, three trucks were set on fire at the ThyssenPlastics plant in Berlin, and a warehouse was set on fire.

Why ThyssenKrupp?

Through its subsidiary ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), Thysenkrupp makes billions building warships of all kinds. These include submarines, corvettes and frigates produced in Hamburg, Kiel and Emden. Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems (TKMS) is Germany’s sole supplier of submarines.

Fire detection experts and technicians from the criminal identification unit of the Hérault Gendarmerie are on the scene.

On Thursday, 12/12/24, approximately 40 comrades from different cities, gathered outside the Kassavetia prison to support our comrade K.K., who is imprisoned in this particular “correctional” facility.

The aim was for Dinos K. on his 18th birthday and being a prisoner of the social war, not to feel alone, not to feel that our solidarity, our practical political/material/moral and psychological support for him, will not accompany him  UNTIL FREEDOM

(Athens) Update from the gathering at Korydallos prison Thu. 12/12
Today, Thursday 12/12 in the afternoon, a gathering was held at Korydallos prison against mandatory DNA collection, for which an order had been given a few days before, but also in solidarity with our comrades who were about to be subjected to this torture process.
The gathering remained for a while at the basketball courts opposite the male prison then headed opposite the women’s prison, where we heard the imprisoned comrades. Slogans were shouted and fliers were thrown.

Our anarchist comrade Marianna M., who was also in the apartment, ended up severely injured in the “Evangelismos” Hospital.

“Fire, struggle, Intifada”: action against a Carrefour in Rome (Italy)

WITH THE PALESTINIAN SISTERS IN STRUGGLE AGAINST THE HETERO-CIS-PATRIARCHY AND THE ZIONIST OCCUPATION

On the 23rd of November, during the national demonstration of the NUDM [Non Una di Meno, Not One Less] in Rome, as women, queers and non-conforming subjectivities, we decided to reappropriate violence by punishing the Carrefour in via Labicana.
“Sisters destroy and burn everything” will not remain a slogan emptied of all meaning, that is why we must apply it in reality. To break a window and set on fire is the expression of our rage and refusal of the feminisation of passivity.

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne): fire to the trucks collaborating with the A69 (France)

Charred trucks, explosions, anti-A69 tags: what we know about the violent fire in Toulouse
ActuToulouse/Ouest France/La Dépêche, October 21, 2024
Several explosions ripped through the night, rousing many Toulousains from their beds. On Monday, October 21, 2024, at around 4 a.m., a violent fire broke out on the premises of Spie Batignolles, located in the Gramont district of Toulouse. When firefighters arrived on the scene, seven trucks were engulfed in flames. An eighth was only just saved. The explosions heard by local residents were none other than the tires of the trucks, which were subjected to temperatures too extreme for them to withstand.
Specialized in construction work, Spie Batignolles is involved in two major projects in the Toulouse region: line C of the Toulouse metro, and the A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. This project has been the subject of fierce protests from environmental militants for many months.
The police are investigating the incident as a crime, and the Toulouse public prosecutor’s office has opened an inquiry for “deliberate damage to private property by dangerous means”. Damage is estimated at 2 million euros.

Sabotage of Ottawa factory producing parts for Israel’s F-35 warplanes (Canada)

Earlier this week a group of people sabotaged Gastops’ factory in Ottawa, the only place in the world where engine sensors are produced for Lockheed’s F-35 combat jets — including the ones dropping 2,000 pound bombs on Gaza. We cut the wiring inside all of the heat pumps on the Gastops roof, locked them out with official Ministry of Health and Safety lock-out tags, shut off the gas, broke the handles for their systems, and cut the lines to their backup communication system on the way out.

The following letter and photos were left on site:

In Martinique, rioting and looting cause at least “65 million euros” in damage to businesses

  • Le Monde, October 18, 2024 (excerpt)

Supermarkets, warehouses, car dealerships and rental companies, electronics stores, catering establishments… The list of Martinique businesses robbed and set on fire during the nights of rioting is long and varied.

“We counted 115 businesses, for a total estimated loss – in terms of inventory and buildings – of between 65 and 75 million euros”, sums up Philippe Jock, President of Martinique’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI). Up to 950 employees could be affected by short-time working, according to CCI estimates, and “more than 300 jobs are at risk; some will be lost”, continues Mr. Jock. This is bad news for this island of 350,000 inhabitants, where 11% of the population was unemployed in 2023, according to data published by Insee in June.

RESPONSIBILITY CLAIM//HONOUR TO COMRADE KYRIAKOS XYMITIRIS (Athens,Greece)

RESPONSIBILITY CLAIM//HONOUR TO COMRADE KYRIAKOS XYMITIRIS

It was a long road to get here. Very long, my brother. The handcuffs weighed heavily on the hands. The evenings when the little light bulb shook its head saying “time’s over”. We read the history of the world in small names, in some dates carved with a fingernail on the prison walls, in some childish drawings of the future dead – a heart, a bow, a ship that surely tore through time. In some verses that were left in the middle so that we could finish them, in some verses that were finished so that we wouldn’t finish them. It was a long road to get here – a difficult road. Now this road is yours. You hold it like you hold your friend’s hand and measure his pulse on the mark left by the handcuffs. Normal pulse – Sure hand – Sure road.
Y.Ritsos    (Γ.Ρίτσος) 

On 31/10, an explosive device exploded in an apartment on Arkadias Street in Ampelokipi, resulting in the death of anarchist comrade KYRIAKOS XYMITIRIS and the injury of anarchist comrade Marianna M. In the following days, a media show followed, usual for Greek conditions, which showed the way for what would follow from the counter-terrorism and the authorities in general. The state as a whole, with the cooperation of the cops-media-judicial authorities, presents the well-played scenarios about the revival of domestic terrorism, enriching them, so that the crowd watching does not get bored, with the description of ”third generation terrorism”. All of this has already led to the pre-trial detention of 5 comrades.

For our part, first of all we do not accept the term terrorism when it comes to urban guerrilla warfare and general political violence. For us, terrorism is living below the poverty line, exorbitant rents, exorbitant bills, gentrification and redevelopment, police brutality, non-functional trains, and guns that fire in the air.
